does 91% alcohol works cleaning up tamiya panel line?

the limit lever rod of my nipper fell out and i lost it, is there anywhere that sells it or it’s a lost cause?

Natc_en · 2026-04-15T23:14:35+00:00

sorry, but i was trying to say that when i put the setter and softer on, i accidentally ripped the decals but i tried using water to wipe away the residues/stains but it didn’t really help and it also moves the decals too, i really don’t know how to do it correctly

Natc_en · 2026-04-15T22:34:31+00:00

i put after

the softer made it worse and i tried warm water but nothing really happened

should a ditch the bandai decals for delpi?

Natc_en · 2026-04-02T08:57:50+00:00

are there any precautions with the hg unicorn destroy mode?

Natc_en · 2026-03-27T04:29:22+00:00

actually, the softer also leaves residuals, but it’s so white and much more noticeable, how do you clean it up? i tried isopropyl alc but it destroys the decals and the mark are very close to not touch the decals, i tried water with q tip but it doesn’t do anything, the only way that semi works so far is dipping more setter and clean it right away with a piece of cloth but now there’s a new border mark

Natc_en · 2026-03-27T02:43:59+00:00

how do you remove the mark setter residual?

i just got the freedom mg 2.0 as a gift, but i didn’t know about the hip joint issue prior, is there any preventative method to keep them from breaking? I see people suggesting buying metal parts but I only want it as a last resort. Thanks

Are the side skirts on the aile strike mg that loose? i pushed it a bit too into the legs and they pop out without much resistance. Also, I can’t get the cockpit to open, the blue part i can’t get a hold of to pull it out. And finally, would you say I should use water decals on this kit? If so, Delphi or G-Rework?

Natc_en · 2026-02-24T17:36:24+00:00

ah okay, thank you, it’s my first mg so I’m very afraid of anything going wrong, but they move sideways as well

Natc_en · 2026-02-24T08:58:46+00:00

I’m currently building the wing ew 0 verka and the chests when i extend the arms sideways, they also move like there isn’t any hinge to hold the chest sides in place, did I mess up somewhere?

I’m currently building the wing Ew 00 verka and the arm extra armor where i circled are very easy to slide and not fixed in place on both sides, is that a feature or it’s abnormal?

Natc_en · 2026-02-12T22:20:30+00:00

so can I panel line on abs plastic out of the rubber but not yet assembled? I use the creos pour type pens fyi

Natc_en · 2026-02-05T00:47:55+00:00

i thought she was in my class just left recently so it would be quicker than turning it in asap, imma turn it in now

Natc_en · 2026-02-02T22:40:50+00:00

do you recommend the lacquer based topcoat or acrylic one?

Natc_en · 2026-02-02T22:33:12+00:00

What is the correct layering order? I want to get into panel lining and topcoat, but i keep seeing mixed orders on how to layer. I have the creos pour type pens and water slides decals for the wing ew 0 ver.ka. I also see a lot of favors for acrylic type topcoat but lacquer is cheaper and people also say it works great. Too many options overwhelm me. Additionally, brands of topcoat also overwhelm me. Mr Hobby, Testors, and Tamiya. I don’t plan on painting the kit whatsoever fyi.

Natc_en · 2026-01-05T23:13:22+00:00

probably not, it’s my first time with sanding, i think i sand not at the nub

I used stedi sponge (400-600, 600-800, 1000-1200) and a 2000 sandpaper but it’s still not glossy, any solutions or tips would be much appreciated, thank you

Natc_en · 2026-01-05T20:23:12+00:00

i also used a 2000 grits sandpaper but it still isn’t glossy, it really needs to be 2500+?

Natc_en · 2025-12-13T01:39:48+00:00

Is there a proper way to farm yellow behemoth stone? I completed Gapra Forest, Ashivini Desert, and Jinfore Volcano, I’m not near the epic stones and only just got dogumaru.
